A complementary approach based on ultrawideband and narrow band radar for anti-personnel landmine detection

Detection of explosive ordnance by radar in the microwave range is proving to be increasingly effective in determining the location and characteristics of such objects buried at shallow depths in the ground. As is known, the variability of the shape and the different materials used for the manufacturing of anti-personnel mines require considerable effort in finding approaches that can constrain the number of false alarms while maintaining a high probability of correct detection
